I definitely think dogs, for example, have the capacity to reflect on it to a extent. You can play games with dogs, they seek it out. I believe there is evidence they can plan. I think they can observe you and then adjust themselves accordingly. If you are angry they can be sad or cautious. If you look sad they can comfort. But they also seem to possess their own independent moods. Planning and adapting to stimulus seems like consciousness to me. I think in Humans language can actually be a big component of that feedback, you can structure your thoughts and reason with it. An internal dialogue. But I am not sure it is entirely necessary.
